iOS: 8Tracks, one of our favorite streaming music services, just took the wraps off of a new mobile app that highlights great new music and mixes you'll want to hear. As soon as you open the app, you'll be able to find something good, hit play, and go from there.
It's been a while since the last 8Tracks app update (and even longer since the last Android update, but hopefully that's coming soon) and where the old version focused more on the social aspect of the service, the new one brings music to the forefront. The new version opens you right up to featured mixes, staff picks, popular mixes, and trending artists and mixes. Tap any to scroll through them, see some basic information about each, and click play.
While you listen, a persistent player at the bottom of the app gives you playback control while you browse other mixes, head over to your account (you can sign in via email, Google, or Facebook), see your feed from users you follow, or pull up your listening history or favorite tracks. Similarly, you can search for specific users or songs from the sidebar on the left. The app even has a sleep timer so you can start a mix (or set of mixes) and catch a nap. Hit the link below to grab the new version—it's a universal app for iPhone and iPad.
